[Laszlo-user] Custom cursors in openlaszlo

[warren@warrenandrachel.com]

I wanted to create a cursor where the "hot spot" is not the upper-left corner [like http://www.openlaszlo.org/jira/secure/attachment/10771/cursor_resize_x.png], and I think I have found a workable solution to the problem illustrated here: http://www.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-2044

Using swfmill, I was able to place the cursor in a .swf at negative x and y coordinates [sample swfmill .xml below], thus emulating the "registration point" behavior of flash. I then used the resulting .swf as the cursor and it worked beautifully.
